Facts First: Rep. Eric Swalwell was wrong to suggest that McConnell's rhetoric on Covid-19 suddenly shifted after the Monday stock market dip. Since December, McConnell has made numerous similar public remarks urging Americans to get vaccinated.

McConnell warned that"these shots need to get in everybody's arm as rapidly as possible or we're going to be back in a situation in the fall that we don't yearn for, that we went through last year."McConnell noted that he is a victim of polio, for which a vaccine took decades to develop, and said,"It never occurred to me, after three highly effective vaccines were developed in under a year, that we'd have difficulty getting Americans to take the shots.

"In late March 2021, McConnell appeared at a vaccination site in his home state of Kentucky and said there is"no good argument not to get the vaccination." Asked what he can say to help convince Republican men to get vaccinated, he said,"I can say as a Republican man, as soon as it was my turn, I took the vaccine. I would encourage all Republican men to do that.

EricSwalwell is known for blatantly lying about people, calling for investigations on people and such, knowing it’s total bullcrap. He should be looked at very closely, something is very Fishy with him. Always pointing fingers at others while he’s neck deep in controversy

Swallowell is a LIAR, and compromised by a female Chinese spy.

Ok, WTF! is going on with ? The last couple articles I have read have not been nice to the Biden Administration, and here they are calling out a known liar. Oh man, this might get good… …

It seems not coincidental that vaccine rhetoric pivoted when y'all outed Fox for its internal vax passport

These comments. None of your viewers care about truth.....go back to being DNC propaganda....it's too late to go back to being a legit news organization

Swalwell with his mouth covered by that mask is a good look for him. I vote he keeps the muzzle indefinitely.

Now do Fang Fang

Where? When? At home, to his friends? 👌🤣🤣🤣🤣
